Well, it's up: my independent website. Etsy is forcing its American sellers to verify their bank accounts via Plaid, but unfortunately, it doesn't recognize any of my account information. So, going independent.

Authorities announced the recovery operation Tuesday and said they had been tipped off by photos of the archaeological discovery shared on the black market, which resembled another known Etruscan burial site on a nearby farm. Thanks to aerial photos and phone taps, police were able to locate the looted area on land belonging to a local businessman, who was also known to have the equipment needed to move large patches of land.
The trove of objects dating from about 900 BCE to 27 BCE includes several urns; two sarcophagi believed to be of Etruscan princesses, including one with a skeleton inside; and a burial trousseau decorated with hunting scenes, containing perfume jars and a comb.
Italian police have seized an $8.44 million stash of illegally excavated artifacts from an Etruscan burial site in the country’s Umbria region, and placed two people under investigation for their suspected roles in the theft, according to a report by the Associated Press .

Hey PNW CoSonauts -- stay safe tonight. The #BombCyclone is not here to play. #wx
It was 5 dollar day at the theater, so we went to see Red One...without expectations.
And it was fun. Action of course. A lot Christmas tide lore embedded in it.
Chris Evans supplied a lot of the comedy.

Fun fact -
70% of the food you eat is harvested/processed/packed by Mexicans. None of them are paid what they deserve.
If you think Rump can lower the price of food you need to do more research -or- just wait and see.

It's not just that Trump rose to his level of incompetence. (That happened years ago.) He's also surrounding himself with an entire administration who have risen to their level of incompetence.
